SIDE BEND TEST

SIDE BEND TEST

Object: To determine the soundness of the weld metal and HAZ in a cross section. This may be preferred to the transverse bend test on thick materials. It is also used on processes or procedures expecting lack of fusion (e.g. thick plate using MIG).

Method: The testing method is the same as that used for transverse bends except the cap and root are not ground flush, to allow testing across the complete weld.

Report Results:
  1. Width and thickness of specimen. 
  2. Angle of bend.
  3. Diameter of former.
  4. Appearance of joint after bending e.g. type and location of flaws.

Part - 6 Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions with answer

Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions  1.           Why Entropy decreases with increase in temperature? Ans.      ds=dQ/T Entropy is inversely proportional to the temperature so, as temp. Increases, entropy decreases. 2.            Why different types of sound are produced in different bikes, though they run on SI Engines? Ans.        Engine specifications are different in different manufactures like as Bore Diameter (CC), Ignition timing. Also the exhaust passage takes more responsible for sound. 3.            How much Watt means 1Hp? Ans.       746.2 Watt 4.            Explain Bicycle Rear Wheel Sprocket working? Ans.       Rear wheel sprocket works u...

Part -7 Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions

Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions What are the different types of fits? Explain? On the basis of Indian standards fits can mainly be categorised into three groups: > Clearance Fit : These types of fits are characterised by the occurrence of a clearance between the two mating parts. The difference between the minimum size of the hole and the maximum size of the shaft is called the minimum clearance, the difference between the maximum size of the hole and the minimum size of the shaft is known as maximum clearance. > Interference Fit : In these types of fits the size of the mating parts are predefined so that interference between them always occurs. The tolerance zone of the hole is completely below the tolerance zone of the shaft. > Transition Fit : As the name suggests these type of fit has its mating parts sized limited to allow either clearance or interference. The tolerance zone of the hole and the shaft overlaps in case of such fits. For a shaf...

CHARPY V NOTCH IMPACT TEST

CHARPY V NOTCH IMPACT TEST Object : To determine the amount of energy absorbed in fracturing a standardized test piece at a specified temperature. Method : A machined, notched specimen is broken by one blow from a pendulum. Because scatter occurs in the results, at least three specimens are used to assess the joint represented. Testing is carried out at a temperature specified in the appropriate application standard. Reporting Results: Location and orientation of the notch.  Testing temperature. Energy absorbed in joules.  Description of fracture appearance. Location of any defects. The Charpy impact test, measured in joules, is an assessment of TOUGHNESS. Transition temperature (curve) in steel.
